We heard that some people had found a female dog that had just given
birth and were looking for a way to put down the puppies.
We asked to take them in even though we are full of
puppies. But these babies were too young. Having just
opened their eyes they were not keen on the dried food we
offered them, not even the special one for very young
puppies and our volunteers are so short of time that it
would be impossible to bottle feed them. Brel
|
|
|
So we asked for them to search and find the mother and bring her to us as
well. When we saw her we could not believe our eyes, she
was just skin and bones. However she has proven herself to
be an excellent mother! She lets us touch and hug her
babies, as if she knows we mean them no harm. Of course we
put her on a special diet in order for her to gain
weight…

females and they have a range of colors...

The mother when is not
feeding her pups, stands guard outside their pen.
Unfortunately we have run out of space within the dog
shelter so this family lives in an abandoned sheep pen
that we have managed to repair somewhat and furnish it
with a dog house.
We
are really looking for people to adopt puppies 29.01.2010

This is Manousos,
an 8 month old male that was found paralyzed from
the waist down. He was dragging himself along the
street, crying and asking for help. Our orthopedic
surgeon after reviewing the x-rays diagnosed compound
fractures on his back leg and pelvis. He had surgery
(you can clearly see his shaved leg and the scar from
the operation) and now he is recuperating in a confined
space to avoid further injuries. His fractures were
pretty serious, so he still has some time to go before
he can get back to partying. It would be a terrible
shame if Manousos was forced to return to the streets,
hence we are looking for a responsible family to adopt
him. We can
promise you that when Manousos gets better you will not
be able to tell he has had such an ordeal. He is one of
a kind, patient, loves cuddles and grateful. Possible
date of birth June 2009. For more info please call +30

And this is our new beauty, Jet. She is
totally black, Black Jet, so that's where she got her
name from. She is less than a year old, beautiful,
petite and a little overweight. She has an
amazingly shiny fur and she wags her tail like mad when
someone comes near. She is the picture of good
health and she will be given spayed andvaccinated.
Possible date of birth May 2009.

Jet
has a special story. After her spaying no one came
forward to adopt her, so with a heavy heart we were
forced to return her where we had found her: on the
street, an all too common occurence for dogs we admit in
the shelter for neutering. However, after 2 days
had passed, she astonished us by waiting outside the
shelter. We decided to take her in and hope she
would find her new home soon. On Sunday Jet was
finally adopted by a family that appreciated her lovely
charakter and her friendly nature, especially towards
the family's daughter. She went to her new home,
met the family's other dog, ate the food they provided
and then settled in the garden, while the family went
inside to have lunch. In
half an hour Jet had found her way back to the shelter!
Thankfully her new home was only a few km away from the
shelter. Jet, the incredible loyal dog!
Nevertheless, we have not lost hope and we still try to
find a home for sweet Jet. For more info please call +30

Do
you remember Mistoklis, the puppy with the nasty
leg fracture that could not undergo surgery? The
little boy has grown into a fine young man of 7 months
with wonderful lush silky fur. His leg has totally
healed and is running and jumping with Avra like a
foal. And when Avra finds a playmate she doesn't
stop until she knocks him out.
Mistoklis
would like a family that would be able to see him for the
treasure he really is and not like another black dog. For more info +30 6977846783 and info@kazshelter.org
He
is very sweet and beautiful and knows how to appear big
and clever when he hears a strange sound.

Avra catching their breath after a three hour runaround.

After Pantelis, another Shar Pei was found wandering
the streets. This is Shar, around 6 years
old, very sweet natured, loving, with one great love:
going out for walks. He had been attacked and biten
by dogs and the bite marks are obvious in the
picture. Shar is healthy and has tested negative for
Erlichiosis and Leishmania. He just needs someone to
love him and open his/her heart and home to him. For
more information: +30 210 8013302, +30 6944 260 909 and renakane1996@hotmail.com
This is a recent picture of Shar. You can
clearly see how healthy he is looking and how well his
wounds have healed. He is still crazy for his walks
but unfortunately he is still kept at a vet's practice, in
a crate. 2.2.10

This beauty is Big Fat Mama! She is a mix
shepherd, found on the island of Rhodes, abandoned and
pregnant in a field, soaking wet from rain. When we
approached her she was so happy, she was lying on the
ground crying for us to give her affection. She is
over 2 years old and her ears have been cut by her
previous owners. She has been spayed since we found
her and we hope to find for her a small corner in
someone's garden, a plate of food and a kind touch from
her new family. For more information:

Once again, a hunter was the catalyt in this dog's
life. The hunter said that the dog is no good and
has no use anymore of him. "Either you take
him or I just leave him on the street or I even shoot
him" were the hunter's words. And when we
asked what is the dog's name he shrugged his shoulders
dissmissively and didn't answer.
The poor dog is very gentle and cuddly, seeking human
affection, patiently waiting for his turn for a kind
touch and a treat. Maybe he feels that our shelter
is a better place to live than his previous home.
It shows from his surprise whenever we reach out to pet
him. At first he bows his head closing his eyes,
evidently waiting for the hit that is to follow and then
he looks at us with wide open eyes, full of surprise and
licks our hands.
Because he is so loving we named him Agapios.
Epagneul Bretons are notorious for their sweet and
loving nature. They make an ideal family pet and
have a special affection to children. Agapios is
waiting for adoption applications, unless you are a
hunter. No hunter will take our Agapios.
He is apx 3 years old, neutered and vaccinated.

Scirocco is our goofy mix Pitbul. He is only
6 months old, has short legs, floppy ears and llllloves
kisses, cuddles, kids and other dogs. He is smart,
he is gentle, he is affectionate, he is funny, in other
words he is all a Pitbul or one of their crosses should
be. Alas, luck was not at his side. His colour
and the myth which wants Pitbuls being fierce animals has
kept him his entire young life in the shelter.
What a shame!

Here, we present to you our darlings who cannot return
to the street either because of their old age or because
of their fear for humans. By virtually adopting one
of them you give them the chance to stay in the shelter
and be provided for. Food, medical care, surgeries,
deworming, vaccinations are some of the costs we have to
face each month. Please help us to help them.

Pamba, 5 years of age, is healthy, vaccinated and spayed. She was found about three years ago locked in the basement
after her owner's death. She has become the baby-sitter of
the shelter as she watches out when the puppies come out
to play. Pamba is still afraid
of people but would willingly give her life for the
people she
knows and loves.
We cannot even think of her wandering around on
the roads in panic, she would probably die before a car
would hit her. Give her a chance to stay with us at the
shelter by virtually adopting her.
Pamba shares with you the recipe
for her favorite treat. You fill a rubber gong with
yogurt and you place it in the freezer.
When it is frozen you can give it to your beloved
companion, he will be kept busy while at the same time
he will enjoy his "ice cream".

Mitsos is our mix Dogo Argentino. He was
a very poor creature when he first came to the shelter,
we didn't know if he would make it. Mitsos is now
a healthy old boy, who would llllllove to be virtually
adopted and to have visits for his sake on
Saturdays. Cookies and girls (photo) are his great
weacknesses :-))

Jula is our very timid girl. She loves being
petted and belly scratched, but only by those she knows
well. 5 years old, spayed and vaccinated. She has no
hope of being adopted. Who would take the time and the
risk to train a dog who is afraid of her own shadow.

When
we found her in 2006, she was unconscious, in a
coma, for about two days as per the people’s
information in the area. For about a week we did not know if she would live or not,
regardless the medication we kept giving her and the
efforts to make her better. Her body was full of
wounds and flies were like a cloud around her. She
finally opened her eyes and stand on her legs slowly
but it was like she was not “there”.
She would stand in the corner for hours,
without responding to anything. We had not
indication if she could see or hear.
We would feed her some meat juice and
sometimes place some pieces of meat in her mouth but
it seemed as if she did not know how to eat it. Slowly she started understanding when someone would walk
into her pen and she would respond by making circles
round herself. We were in despair as we thought that
Pia's life was with no quality or dignity.
Until we decided to place her in the big
yard, with
some of our well mannered dogs. Pia in a few days
was transformed. She always had a look lost in
space, but giving her time she managed to focus and
now we are convinced that she can see as well as
hear and she is enjoying her life.
The circles she used to do around her self
have become less and less and she does not miss an
opportunity to run and jump around with her friends.
She is almost a normal dog, that eats, barks,
plays like any other.
But she will stay at the shelter for the rest
of her life. No one can take on the responsibility
of a dog with brain damage from which she can not
manage to recover completely .
And of course, there is no way that Pia will
be placed back on the streets. We are asking for
your help so we can offer Pia the life she deserves
as she is only two years old. Tel 6977 846783 and

Here we present grandpa Giorgos
who needs your support. He is old and when he arrived in
the shelter he had great health problems, full of wounds
and very weak. We managed to cure him, we pampered him,
fed him and now he can leave the shelter and move into a
dog's house in your yard. All he needs is some snugness
and a plate of food for as long as he is still around.
In the photo you can see how he was when he first
arrived. Now he is unrecognizable, a bit fat with a rich
coat, a gorgeous old sheppard’s dog. He also asked me
to tell you that he would even be interested in an
virtual adoption, to cover his expenses while he remains
at the shelter.

Grandpa Giorgos and his harem!! Above with Maria and below with

Lefkippos, a white Spitz, was found wandering around Tatoiou street.
He has no microchip, and at the moment he is being
taken cared of here at the shelter. He is also being
treated by our vet for an infection he has in his
anal-gland. Until now no one has claimed loss of this dog
at the police stations of the area.
He is an old boy and no one wants to adopt him. He
would love though a virtual adoption to help him stay at
the shelter. Tel 6977 846783 and

She suffered from Leishmaniosis and eternal hunger.
And this is how she looks today. She is a plump

and extremely affectionate. 5 years old, spayed,
vaccinated and regularly dewormed. Her disease is a bad
memory of the past and we monitor her regurarly with
blood tests.

Kostas (left) with one blue eye met Giannis (right) in one
of his walks and they instantly became friends creating
the "Ocean 2" gang. They are both 2-3 years old
and they would be a smashing duo guarding some fenced in
yard or a house. Both are vaccinated, dewormed and neutered. Affectionate and
totally friendly to their humans, the boys have great
guarding skills, but absolutely no diplomatic talent
towards other dogs. Tel 6977 846783 and

Myrina, a very sad story. She was found in
a filed on the verge of death. She could not walk,
not even stand up. She came to the shelter, had all
necessary tests. Among othe health issues she was
suffering from starvation... We put her on drips, hand fed
her and on the third day she managed to stand on her feet.
Even if she gains weight and surpasses her medical
conditions, Myrina seems unable to survive alone on the
streets. She is another one of our dogs that needs a
sponsor. For more information: Tel 6977 846783 and

Our Gerakos is a lucky little fellow. He was
taken by his family to a vet's to be euthanized. He
was too old and they didn't want him any more. We
found out about the case and we took Gerakos to the
shelter. We even managed to find a family for him,
but they left the door open and Gerakos disappeared.
An old boy, in a hostile area, many km away from the
shelter. After 2 weeks we found him and he came back
to the shelter. Now, he enjoys life living in the
shelter's office and in the front yard greeting all our
visitors and flirting with all fourlegged girls.
The handbag took over his place on the armchair, but
Gerakos didn't hesitate. He just sqeezed next to it.

This is our Aisha and her sad story. When
she was 2 months old we fished out of a well where she
had been dumped or she had managed to crawl on the
ledge, push the well's lead and lose her balance (lets
get not crazy). From then on, human presence is
very disturbing to Aisha. Even we cannot get near
her although we have her since she was a small puppy and
we have never even yelled at her. Aisha is now 4 years
old and totaly incapable of taking care of herself on
the streets. Who would adopt a black, crazily
fearful animal?

Marika has been living at the shelter since it
opened. She is a healthy, beautiful, medium size
German Shepherd mix, 5-6 years of age, who would be
afraid to death if she were to be found in unknown
surroundings. She is a timid dog but she accepts
the people she knows. Perhaps the right person
eith right amount of patience and love could bring
Marika out of her shell, to live with a family and give
lots of love. However, no one has come forward to
take on such a responsibility.

Tony has been at the shelter for about 2
years. Last year he had surgery to remove bullet
fragments from his knee. A seconde surgery
followed the first, to allow him to use and staighten
his leg, but without success. Tony is very timid
and though he enjoys seen us and receiving his cookies,
he does not let us pet him. He might not get along with
humans all that well, but he has got plenty of four
legged friends to keep him company.

Corina! A real beauty! She
lives in the shelter since she was a small puppy but she
has not been adopted. She is very timid and no one
has come so far forward to take the responsibility and
give her a chance. She would love though a
sponsor who would make it possible for her to stay at
the shelter indefinitely.
